Adsorption and desorption of model interstellar ices on a dust grain analogue surface

Molecular ices freeze out on the surface of dust grains within the interstellar medium (ISM). Dust grains form 1% of the mass of the ISM, and are comprised of siliceous or carbonaceous material. Molecular ices are H2O-rich, with major components including CO and CO2, along with trace amounts of sulp...
